Who else is brave enough to admit to throwing coins from the terraces onto the pitch at Sincil Bank.
I know I did, and on more than one occasion.
To be fair the coins I threw were put to good use by the club. Helped anyway in gathering around £16000 for the club.
I can still picture those brave heroes walking around with the blanket. Smiling in hope that people would aim at the blanket and not them.

Anybody ever wolf whistled before :grin:

I have NEVER knowingly thrown a coin "onto the pitch" but I have thrown coins into said blanket!

I threw some popcorn at the Lino once but it didn't travel far enough and hit someone several rows in front of me who looked round to not know who it was as I was pretending to talk to a mate.

Popcorn doesn't travel from the back of the stand to the pitch.

I did get hit by a bloody paper aeroplane at one of the cup games last season when I wasn't at the back. Should be banning these fools. Could have taken someone's eye out. So my Mum says and she's the boss.

At Rotherham for a night game in the 80's, was coming back to the terrace, with a cup of Bovril as it was raining and cold. When we equalised. I forgot the Bovril was in my hand and celebrated, throwing the hot Bovril all over the rain blanket of a mounted policeman. Causing the horse to snort and the policeman give me the dirtiest look ever.
But any coins thrown were intentionally into a blanket.

This all brings to mind the long lost subtle art of bog roll throwing. Skilled participants would be able to succeed in launching it to unfurl over the cross bar and hang down to the ground in a primitive form of intimidation of the opposing keeper. Sometimes the goal net would be festooned with streams of the stuff before the start of the game. it was often just left to the keeper to pull bits off.

At away games allegedly the ammunition was often supplied courtesy of B.R.

To my knowledge, no keepers were ever hurt by this harmless ancient practice.

You tell the youngsters of today and they won't believe you.

Ahhh, the bog roll, did that a couple of times as well. Plus used to spend most of night before an away game ripping newspapers into small squares. Put them in a plastic bag, and sneaked them in at the away game. We then all grabbed a handful of the ripped up paper, and when the players came out threw it in the air towards the pitch - instant confetti! ! Ahhh good times

When we won the conference in 1988 against Wycombe I was young and keen to celebrate and at the final whistle. So I launched myself over the wall along with everyone else to run on the pitch and caught my trailing foot on the advertising hoarding which was sat just proud of the wall at the Railway end so I ended up sort of falling and rolling onto the pitch much to the amusement of my mates

I think it was so funny when people used to throw a toilet roll on the pitch and forget to undo it hold the end so it unfurled itself

I can remember someone throwing a bog roll onto the pitch at Chesterfield (Saltergate) and doing exactly that! This lone white bog roll just appeared and bobbled and rolled across the penalty box it was hilarious and it just sat there in splendid isolation until the keeper spotted it!
